Welcome Pond Enthusiasts!

Here at Country Gardens, we specialize in water gardens. Established in 1978, we started as a greenhouse and nursery growing our own annuals, perennials, and holiday crops. Later, we expanded into a florist shop. In the early 1990s, we developed a passion for water gardens. Again we expanded the business to include this passion for ponds. Through our associations with national and international groups, we have become the North Shore's largest water garden center dedicated to helping others find their passion and create a backyard paradise of their own.

 

Spring Pond Maintenance

  • You can clean the pond any time now (ours have been done)
  • Get pumps and filters up and running
  • Use beneficial bacteria to help re-establish beneficial bacteria in the pond and break down sludge
  • Use algae control when needed
  • If your pump and filter are running begin feeding fish every 2-3 days until water temperatures are over 65*F
